G-TEP (Group traumatic episode protocol)
Have you experienced a recent distressing or overwhelming event?
Are you carrying emotional weight from a traumatic experience but don’t feel ready - or able - to talk about it? Then this group EMDR GTEP session is for you.
The GTEP (group traumatic episode protocol) is a gentle, structured version of EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) therapy. It's designed to help people process trauma without needing to speak in detail about what happened. Using bilateral stimulation and guided steps, GTEP helps your brain and body begin to release and reset from the effects of trauma.
This session takes place in a small group, but your experience remains private and individual. It’s ideal for recent trauma, shock, grief, or emotional overwhelm, and is suitable even if you're feeling anxious or emotionally “shut down.”
What you’ll gain:
- A sense of emotional relief and nervous system calm.
- Tools you can take home to continue processing safely.
- An introduction to the power of EMDR in a group format.
- Connection and presence without the pressure to share.
Who this is for:
- You’ve gone through a recent traumatic or distressing experience.
- You feel emotionally “stuck,” overwhelmed, or on edge.
- You prefer a non-verbal and gentle approach to healing.
- You’re looking for relief without needing to retell your story.
- You’re open to experiencing a nervous system reset in a safe group setting.
This is not for you if:
- You have a complex trauma history with a high level of distress.
- You are in the middle of a mental health crisis or experiencing suicidal thoughts.
- You are looking for a traditional talk therapy session.
- You are unwilling to fill in the required pre-session form.
Completing the pre-session questionnaire is essential.
All participants must complete a confidential pre-session screening form prior to the event. This helps ensure GTEP is safe and suitable for you.
Please fill out the form within 48 hours of registering.
A link to the form will be provided automatically after registration by email, so please look out for it.
Spaces are limited. This is an intimate healing space, and seats are limited to maintain a safe and supportive environment. Please book early and complete the form to secure your place.
Cost: Early bird fee £125 until 6 June and £143 from 7 June
We are looking forward to welcoming you.
